I watched the live Mars landing last week, excited to see a rocket touchdown, live, on the red planet.Instead, I was underwhelmed.The live stream only showed an animation of the landing, not the real thing, and some reaction shots from NASA personnel.It's not that landing on Mars isn't super cool -- it is! It's just that I've been spoiled by SpaceX, who provide awesome livestreams of everything they do, and always put on such a good show. NASA eventually came through with the goods, and shared some breathtaking visuals, so in the end I was happy.But what a time to be alive, when I can see incredible achievements like this, and feel like they’re NOT the best we’re capable of.Meanwhile, I'm hanging out for that first commercial flight to Mars...To make a tax-deductible (in the US) donation to NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/support
